I prefer PHA over AHA or BHA. It gives me a glow that none of the other acids give. Tiam's 12% PHA is my absolute favorite of all time. Gives the most beautiful skin in just a few hours.
I've just started to look into exfoliators for my dry skin, but I'm also very sensitive. This video came at a great time. Just need to find good/trusted exfoliators with PHA now.
I use Garnier Micellar water with PHA in the mornings w a cotton pad, cleans off all the loose scaly skin from tret use so that I can start w a clear slate before applying sunscreen and make up. Its so gentle, does not hurt at all, and I always rinse off micellar water.
god i love this woman. so generous with her knowledge and you are definitely a life saver!! I'm an oily girl and got a glycolic acid to exfoliate my acne scars.. i was wondering why it didn't work! definitely giving SA a chance now 😊 i trust you dr. idriss ♥️♥️
I will tell you about scrubs. I have been using a sugar scrub on my body, legs, and arms. Well, I listened to a plastic surgeon on here, who I typically love. He said Korean mothers scrub the heck out of their skin to get good results. So I upped my game, and now I am healing from cellulitis!
@@claire6838 From scrubbing it. I know it doesn't make sense, I mean I was in the bathtub feet out of course but I am clean before I start this, and then clean socks. And this has never happened from falling down and or scratching my legs. But here we are. I must have scrubbed too hard, just right. My friend got it on her breast from they think ocean sand.
Clear, concise and to the point! Perfect! Ive not tried PHAs but now u got me interested as i have sensitive cheeks (on my face!😅) so tend not exfoliate them often
Have you tried the aha/bha pads from skinfix they are amazing I have sensitive cystic acne prone skin and I use this 2 nights a week and the rest I use tretinoin with beautiful results ❤
@hollywood9414 no I've not tried anything from them. Ive got paulas choice bha and various brands glycolic acid but they irritate my cheeks so a pha might help. Thank you I'll check it out. x
I use glycolic under arms and aha/bha pads on my face and have great results for oily cystic acne prone skin Also I use tretinoin on nights I don’t exfoliate and I love it
I know everyone who knows anything about skin says not to, but a physical scrub is the only thing that kinda works on the KP on my cheeks. Yes I have tried every type of chemical exfoliant that exists. Nothing else works.
@@fairyinutopia It's also one of my favorites, and having used it I would say the benefits of mandelic acid are: - gentler (less penetrative) than glycolic acid and others due to molecular size - works with other ingredients (good in a multi-step regimen; great in tandem w/ lactic for smooth and clear skin goals) - acne fighting properties - reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) over time; very beneficial to brown/deeper skintones Hope this was helpful to you 🦋😊🦋
In Shereen, the Skincare Queen we trust 👌🙌 honestly, you're like a fountain of all the information I wish I'd had 12yrs ago, after spending hours of research, wasting hundreds of ££ & damaging my poor face as a result after experiencing 'adult acne' when I was 24-26 😖 thank god I am skin-telligent these days but I will soak up every single video & drop of information you share with us, thank god for notifications! Much love to you 💛✨️✨️✨️
I’ve been using glytone cleanser nightly for years. I love it. My dermatologist said that once my skin was clear I could switch to a gentle cleanser at night but I just keep on with it.
Can you give some product recommendations? I have dry, sensitive, redness-prone skin. Thank you, I LOVE your content. Also you are so beautiful & seem like an amazing person. xx
She has said in past videos that Azelaic Acid is great for calming skin - Paula’s Choice has an AWESOME one that is combined with salicylic acid and it is FABULOUS. I use it daily.
@@Little_Sidhe It works somehow, mixed with the Azelaic acid. You would definitely pair it with a moisturizer. Maybe not for everyone but it is SO calming for my face.
Thank you so much for your responses guys!💗 I just got the Azelaic Acid serum (I ended up going with the one from The Inkey List, the SA in Paula's choice scares me haha) I'll see if that helps for my redness! I'm still considering getting an exfoliating acid as well, but totally unsure what kind would work best for me; glycolic, lactic, or a PHA. I guess I'll just have to try it out☺️
I use peeling gel, it takes all the dirt from the face gently while forming crumbs, i used to exfoliate with little beads but was introduced to the peeling gel, best thing ever
You have helped me so much. I’ve only been binging your videos for a couple days. I’m glad I ran across your page. It’s been YEARS of trying to figure out the best skincare routine (started breaking out when I hit 20. I’m now 27). Realized I’ve been over exfoliating all this time. Thank you doctor!!
I shower in the mornings because I run in the mornings which means I do skin care in the mornings followed by sunscreen. I rarely wear any makeup so I just wash my skin with water at night. Would you still recommend skincare routine including exfoliating at night despite the morning showers? Plus I am super pale and live in Australia where the UV index is high year round.
I'd do your exfoliating at night because your body does a lot of cellular repair while you're sleeping, so there's more energy going into making healthy new skin. Vs during the day so much energy is expended moving, digesting, thinking, etc. After your workouts in the morning you could just wash with water or a gentle cream cleanser then sunscreen
If you’re wearing SPF (and I’m assuming reapplying throughout the day as you live in Aus), you’ll need to wash that off properly at night, not necessarily ‘exfoliate’, but a good cleanser.
@@khadijasdraftsit’s not recommended for most people as the retinol will leave your skin very sensitive and you’ll compromise your skin barrier. Depending on how experienced you are with retinol and if you’ve built up to it, I’d probably do retinol one night, then two nights later exfoliate? See how your skin reacts. Remember to hydrate lots!
Have been seen great results for my post pimple pigmentation spots and active acne using azelaic acid. Idk why, but I think Salicylic acid isn't the best for my skin, has never done much, even after months of use.
I rely on physical exfoliation because my skin is so hypersensitive to chemical exfoliants. I’ve had many many chemical burns from “sensitive skin” products. I stick to only once a week to minimise as much damage as possible.
If I'm using Tretinoin every night, but need to exfoliate, won't cutting down my tretinoin to only three or four nights a week slow down its benefits dramatically? I know exfoliating helps to make Tret work better, but cutting it in half makes me wonder if that's the best routine.
In her skincare line, there is an exfoliating mask that she recommends using 2-3 nights a week, and she says you can still use tretinoin after rinsing the mask off. I have fairly sensitive skin and have been able to follow that recommendation without irritation. (I use a buffered tretinoin product called Altreno that she recommends.) YMMV
I'm 15 and i used a physical scrub couple of years ago. It destroyed my skin barrier. Anything i applied burned and the scrub inflamed my skin so it became super red. After that i quit exfoliating because i was young and didn't need it plus the results that igot were not goodt. But a few months ago i got white heads and wanted to get rid of them so i started using a 3% pha tonner and ohhh it worked wonders. It was the first ever active i used and the results were amazing literally no irritation. It got rid of my texture and also hydrated my skin. It's amazing for every skin type but you gotta know your concerns.
Glycolic acid surprisingly brightened my skin. Very pleased😊 did nothing for those dark spots though....oh well. I guess those are gonna stay for life.
For my skin using chemical exfoliants only a couple of times a week is not enough. And for the first time in my life, I have countless compliments daily on my skin.
Very true. My dermatologist suggested EXACTLY THE SAME. Only in the evening...except he recommended not scrub or peel more tha once in 10 days because my skin can get irritated and so far it's working.
I have a question. How do I figure out the best options for who to visit in my own area regarding my facial skin? I’m in my mid-40s now and all that time in the hot sun on the lake as a teenager is really showing up in my face in several ways. I’m interested specifically in laser treatments for sun hyperpigmentation, and deep tear troughs. I am a skincare enthusiast since the start of quarantine, and I’m consistent, but not seeing the changes I want.
As a male Southeast Asian with oily skin, I wash my face with a product containing lactic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, etc. at least twice a day for two minutes and another product with coamidopropyl betaine, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, and coco-glucoside once a day for two minutes. After washing, I apply a niacinamide toner and salicylic acid toner. Sometimes I wash my face 4 times if I'm at home and it still gets oily.
As someone with oily skin in a hot and humid environment who's already using SA, I was wondering if i should add a glycolic acid too. Thanks for the info!
Lactic acid but isn't that useful for oily skin , doesn't matter if it brightens cuz of oily skin. I literally use 40% acid glycolic every week overnight. My skin is still oily and shines after 3 days of exfoliating .. salicylic+ glycolic is a better go i think .. as salicylic helps with pore cleansing which is a must for Oily skin not for dry right.. and dry skin should use lactic plus mild glycolic percentages but no use of salicylic 2% is enough.. so it all does depend.
Are physical exfoliaters still ok if I don't get acne? I tried both but my skin always feels super soft and gets rid of the shid with the scrub. Doesn't feel like the chemical does the same. What chemical product do you recommend?
years ago before i knew anything about skincare, i used a physical scrub and some exfoliation beads got in my eye. that was terrifying and i never used those again
So I use a product that is marketed on the bottle as a daily exfoliator from philosophy. It's meant to use daily. So I use it after my philosophy cleanser
@@DH-wq3mo She had said that butt paste is super, super good for calming down and moisturizing the skin after using things like retinol. I'm not really sure what happened to the person that made this comment tho
i don't have rosacea so it's hard to say, but mandelic acid may be a gentle AHA. other suggestions i might try is adding a more moisturising cream after you apply an AHA, BHA or retinoid (something with ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, occlusives), or using a cleanser based exfoliant or retinoid, or applying a cream/lotion exfoliant or retinoid for 30 seconds and then wash it off and finish with a moisturising cream like i suggested above. studies have shown products can penetrate our skin in as little as 30 seconds
Could you suggest glycolic acids brands for a 49yr old pale AF women who has combo/dry skin? I use or have tried to us various International brands but nothing with glycolic as it's main active. I bought the salicylic acid from The Ordinary and was using it on my T zone 2x a week. But then saw your short that salicylic as is counteracting actives for age spots and I use hydroquinone and tretinoin 3xs a wk. So I will switch to a glycolic acid and gift the salicylic to my sister.
But but you didn't say you are a 39 year old board certified dermatologist. 😊 This post seemed incomplete without it. Thanks Doc.

I think it’s fake because of that.. this is an imposter!
